Assassin's Creed Headed To Egypt?

As you already know, Ubisoft is preparing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for a Fall 2010 release. It seems they've got another AC project in the works, too.

Teaser art on UbiWorkshop.com shows a hooded fellow with an eagle standing in front of pyramids. A crest above him has the initials "AC." The image file is called "Assassin," too, so they're not concealing the fact that this is connected to the Creed franchise somehow.

"Oh, and before you ask, this has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood," said the UbiWorkshop Twitter.

Is it a new game, then? Based on the back-and-forth on Twitter, it looks like comic book artists Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl are involved in this secret project. It could be a comic book series.
